Open Stack

>From spec [1], I read:


   - Of the core drivers, the VLAN and OVS drivers will be marked as not
   supporting VLAN transparent networks and the LB, VXLAN and GRE drivers will
   be marked as supporting VLAN transparent networks. Other drivers will have
   legacy behaviour.

I can't seem to find in the code where this is implemented though. Can you
elaborate?

This may be besides the point, but I really clash with the idea that we
provide a reference implementation on something we don't have CI for...for
that reason, I am starting to become really wary of the shape this has been
merged in. Let's hope we tie the appropriate loose ends in the next couple
of days, otherwise we're left with no other option than pulling this out of
Kilo.
